The record Muggs did with Marciano was one of my favorites in recent memory. Then I got hip to the fact that this is a whole movement Muggs is behind. And I'm with it.

Brooklyn Vegan put it thusly: "The Roots are so omnipresent and their level of talent is such a given that it’d be understandable if you started to take them for granted. They’ve also done so much non-exclusively-hip hop work recently (The Tonight Show, their Jam Sessions, their album with Elvis Costello, etc), that you can almost forget that frontman Black Thought is one of the most razor-sharp veteran rappers still going. He reminded us of that this year with the release of his first two solo records ever, the Streams of Thought, Vol. 1 EP (produced by 9th Wonder) and the Streams of Thought, Vol. 2: Traxploitation EP (produced by Salaam Remi). “The art of lyricism is now in its greatest decline. That’s why it’s like, somebody comes out and you drop some bars of substance, it’s like it’s amazing. It’s like a unicorn,” Thought told NPR earlier this year, and it seems fair to assume that Thought’s perception of a lyrical void in modern hip hop left him fired-up and drove him to drop some of his hardest bars in a while. He doesn’t come off like a curmudgeon though; he sounds lively and enthusiastic, like he couldn’t be happier to be back in the vocal booth. And he just kills it again and again and again on these EPs. His rhyme schemes are exhilarating, his word choices are unpredictable (he rhymes “FML” with “béchamel”), and his punchlines hit like home runs. Formerly considered a young person’s game, we’re now seeing the ways in which rappers can age gracefully, and other vets could take a few notes from Black Thought." ...Well said.
